optimum solr core size

[jame vaalet <ja...@gmail.com>]

Hi,
I have got singel core solr deployment in production and the documents are
getting added daily (around 1 million entries per week). My core size has
approached 123 GB, i would like to know what would be the optimum size of a
single core (not the number of docs but the size of the index file) to
start a new core.

Jame,

That really depends on your hardware, query load and profile, search latency and other performance requirements.

That said, a 123 GB core is a pretty big core :)

How many documents are there in the index? How many stored/indexed fields?
There is no magic number as yet for defining the size of a single
core(whether no. of docs OR the size of index), but 123GB seems to be on a
higher side, so, you could definitely go for sharding of indexes.

BTW, how are your searches/indexing performing over the time? Are there any
impact?

Regards
Pravesh
